She made the show, I only watched for her. She has a great personality
Love her💕
periodt
Honestly without Bella, I don't know if I would've stumbled across this show! Her energy and aura is stunning
Even me ,she's so cool
Same✨
Legit! I saw her on the thumbnail and was like...."ooooo, she's gorgeous, what's this? "
@@theboldeststatement4005 LOL SAME. I was like ohh shes pretty... *clicks*
Yesss me too
bella carried the entire show to be honest. she made everything less awkward to watch and wasn’t putting on a fake personality when she was on the show.
Carried the show but didn't get chosen..lmao
@@slee2695 she was too good for anyone anyway!
@@slee2695
Maybe if she went for the one who choose her first maybe it would have been different.
@@moonbycul cope
@@slee2695 carrying the show doesn't mean she'd get picked weirdo. she was the person who made the show more fun to watch, and had better energy. what, you're upset on that? 😂
Bella is a Queen and I'm glad she was on the first season
Bella ATEEEEEEEE throughout the seriesssss, would deffo love to see her as a panel member for season 2!!!!!!
This!
Ye sis ♥️
This!
Bella was the reason I showed up. She’s stunning and charismatic
i dont understand why everyones saying bella is the reason why they watched it.. i js clicked on it cuz the title looked interesting
@@ifeoco Because she’s an icon. Mad?
@@bmwjourdandunngoddess6024 how am i mad? i was just asking a simple question..
I didn't know her until i watched this show how am i meant to know she did other things before this
get ahold of yourself stop going on tiktok to then call everyone and anyone mad, thank you
@@ifeoco well that's you... I personally clicked on it cuz of bella, and there's nothing wrong with that
@@gabrielleamissah8317 clearly ur reading everything wrong and im not sure if you deleted ur comment or whatever, but im not questioning nobodys choices im just asking.
I thought bella was just a normal girl that didn't pop up on anything before this, if she was famous or popular before this then i'd understand
She’s not only pretty her personality is awesome too! She really was the mvp of the show. And YESSS to her being on the panel for next season.
Yeap, she has it all..Beauty, Brains & Personality!❤
Honestly Bella was the reason why i continued to watch the show... Her personnality and aura is something else !! I love her so much.
Hope you find some contestants as brilliant as she is cause i definitly want that season 2 (yeah i think about Tiffany, red hair girl and Kang Dowon from casting videos) !!
Bella was why I watched the show tbh. Even though it was good, it wouldn't be the same without Bella as a contestant or at least a panelist
It would be so cool if she’s a panelist for next season
On the next season I think it would nice if each contestant show more about their individual culture like make a traditional meal one night or wherein traditional clothing of their country I think it might add to the chemistry of the cast. Also one suggestion I think it would cool I’d f each member arrived separately to catch the reactions as they walk up to the house that way we get to hear the comments and see the real person before they change in the onscreen person. Just my thoughts but who am I. 😂😂😂love the show awaiting next season
..... It will end in tears. 😂
Something like this would be really fun
they may not know how to cook
@@sisanababy5884 I swear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is an amazing idea!!!
I live in the Caribbean and i totally agree with her. We are homogeneous as well and the most closest to racism is colorism but i have never experience racism
Homogeneous, what Caribbean island are you from.
I relate because I’m from and grew up in the Caribbean so I’ve not experienced racism. I do live in the US now so sometimes I’m nervous about if I do and also do not relate in conversations black Americans have about racism
EXACTLY. I’m African and dude. In my country the way we treat foreigners isn’t too good. In fact they are some parts of African countries that kill white people
@@treena1067 As a black American, the only racism I may have experienced was in a store managed by a white Latina; however, I've only experienced BLATANT racism online.
@@treena1067 Well the longer you live in US you may experience it (hopefully not but it is America so experiences like that will happen at least once or online). But growing up in different places and different cultures of course everything is going to be different. Racism manifest and looks differently in each place that’s why sometimes hard to pinpoint what it is. US has foundation of the genocide of Indigenous ppl and enslaved Black ppl with policies or direct action in effect today.
Colorism is side effect of Colonization and Racism. Internalized racism as well after centuries of it in many countries unfortunately.
I hope you don’t experience racism while out in the US but sometimes the racism is a microaggresion. Hard to call out, hard to place cause it’s tethering “is it just me being extra or was this legit?”.
I experience racism here and there. Maybe every few years. Microaggresions about my hair or spectrum of my skin color more often.
Online though I know many experience it esp where they live in US esp with history of slavery or Jim Crow or Segregation (how long it took to be outlawed to that city).
What Bella said about the racism thing and her growing up in Africa is so true. As somebody who grew up in Africa the mood to the states when they’re older there’s so much stuff that you mess and you have to learn about through your community and friends and that he doesn’t realize it and I remember affect me this one time, but it was an Uber driver had to put it out for me because I didn’t think about it at all
Same, I'm Jamaican and my country is like 90% black. I was raised in a somewhat sheltered suburban middle-class family, and I had no idea what racism was really like until I moved to America. I always thought of racism as something distant in the past until I came face to face with it for the first time and realized how many layers there are to it, and how systemically embedded it is in certain societies. Especially micro-racism, which is what Bella and Ericka experienced, which is so prevalent and yet so subtle that it can be difficult to pick up on when you're in the moment.
Yeah also unfortunately when growing up in a less diverse community the community you're in turns out to be racist to other races as they don't interact with them as much and rely on stereotypes that's what I've seen with my family but since I was raised in an urban area in South Africa and went to a school with kids of different,races and ethnic backgrounds I had to learn to stop using my bias and prejudice and ended up making a lot of diverse friends with beautiful cultures,heritage and food and I became more open minded
I am from America, born and raised. I grew up in 2 environments in different east coast states:
1. 40% Black, 50% White, 10% other (mostly Asian), 0% Latinos 2. Huge melting pot with 15% or less White people.
I grew up seeing Black people in positions of authority and power so the dynamics were very different. Yes there were little micro aggressions here & there, but they usually got checked and put in their place one way or another.
I did not experience true overt racism until I moved to Arizona which is predominantly White and Mexican. Both are extremely racist towards Black people. There is so much racism on the West Coast and it is revolting! I hate living here tbh.
I even quit being a bartender b/c I would get tipped less b/c I am Black. Other bartenders would not want to team with me because they got tipped less when working with me. Smh it was traumatizing.
I am also "conventionally" attractive and would have to deal w/ racists trying to downgrade my beauty by publicly asking if my hair was real then trying to or successfully touching my hair. Smh they would get so mad when they found out my long hair and full afro is real and that I am not wearing makeup.
Also Men who I would never be involved with are rude to me in order to gain brownie points with a less attractive White or Mexican woman. Smh I am so over the west coast, but circumstance is currwntly keeping me here. I am so ready to move on and move out tbh. 🙄😔
Grew up in Africa too,,there's no such thing as racism,,,I came to know of racism through the media esp from black Americans
Is this true about South Africa though? This is the first time I've heard someone saying South Africa doesn't have racism.
I did say that Bella was the best on the show, and here's proof, she wanted to get to know Minjae, but out of respect for Sonia who was so into him, she stepped aside.
she should be a panel member on season 2
Oooo, that's such a good idea!
That would be cool.
I won't even hide my bias. She has all the main character energy!!! Please can we have like have a spin-off...Bachelorette Ramyeon&Chill with Bella 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Main characters dont get picked by the guys?
@@slee2695 don’t have to get picked to be a main character. The point of being a main character is that you draw people in & she’s did just that. While I’m not a “Stan” you can see that she’s the most liked among the contestants.
Also, main character energy is subjective
@@slee2695 You're under every comment that praises Bella mentioning she wasn't chosen by some guy. I'm sorry not everyone thinks attention from males is some great prize and thirsty for male validation like you. Especially attention from the mid to ugly males in this show. No one should be pressed about that.
Korean people tend to think black people are just people to just make out and not having nothing serious like dating because of Korean culture. I think there was a kind of racism as I think the boys tried as much to choose people that are closer to Korean.
That idea exists in many Asian countries actually. Due to many Asians getting their impressions from Western/Hollywood media, they think Western/Foreign women are easy/loose.
@@deekay13 I am American and yeah, their idea is not far off. THis culture is very "easy/loose." I am more conservative. Wish Americans weren't as loose...men and women alike.
Not black but western..people who are foreigners..due to how hollwood is unfortunately…There is no racism if this video besides..she wasn’t the only non Asian there..a
Sonya isn’t anywhere closer to korean.. and the other African girl.. was just playing race card throughout the show even tho more than one guy tried to have a connection with her..and fillipino girl didn’t get any connections..so saying race thing is just wild..cause most people there were asain..there wasn’t even enough of other race
I love how Bella handles and speaks about things.
Like as in sweeps them under the rug? 🤨😳
@@sisanababy5884 OR she chooses which battles are worth fighting. Approaching KJ about his behavior was not worth her time or the effort.
@@kimleemoon nah I actually commend for how she handled that KJ mess. (also very unsmart of her to allow them camera's to get switched off on her like that)
I was talking about the rayce stuff
@@sisanababy5884 well according to the producers, the cameras were turned off because they were talking about racism & they didn’t want their discussion on camera. So she didn’t sweep it under the rug, it just wasn’t filmed.
They had mad chemistry even before the RnC room (pepero game). So I’m not surprised they made out. What was surprising was his behavior afterwards. I believe people think because westerners are more “open-minded” anything goes in our dating culture. There are still things we consider inappropriate & making out or sleeping with a girl & then ghosting her is one of them. It happens, probably often, but it’s seen as a “jerk move”. Maybe he assumed it would be acceptable. Anyway, perhaps we will get his side of the story if he does a Q&A session too. I’m curious as to what he was thinking.
@@sisanababy5884 you’re ridiculous, even under the episodes I saw you hating on Bella. Like get a life gurrrrl 🙄 ; jealousy is not a good look.
bella is literally so beautiful and my favorite,I loved this video and just seeing more of her
It was fun seeing her again
Go Girl you gat this anyone who doesn't like you for you doesn't deserve you
I think Erika was right but it didn't happen to her,it happened to Bella at the end like she deserves the best but turn out they refused her
She was but it wasn’t what was happening to her at all
@@EspritsFantomes Exactly,Erika thought that all the guys would like her. She herself said that men always pay her attention so she was shocked when they didn't express an interest in her, she's very narcissistic imo and using the race card was low.
@DoriceMichelle I was thinking the same thing! People who don't experience what Erika was talking about just don't get it.
Happened to Bella because of her skin tone. They didn't want Erika either though.
@@kaviddurr5106 But Bella is a light skinned East African girl in real life 😂😂😂
She walked, carried and SLAYED in this show!!! Love Bella! ❤
Bella deservesss that spa session, for real! And she should totally be in the panel or maybe have a special segment on season 2
I could watch her all day. She has genuinely good energy. You can tell she's a good person; and wow, she is such a beauty. She definitely made me watch the show. I would've stopped watching after episode one if not for her and Sabrina. They are both beautiful with big smiles, and healthy full figured bodies, and they are very positive and genuine. You could tell they were being themselves.
Bella has so much pisitive energy . 👍
Is that your cat??
On your profile pic
@@Nk-ob4id why do u need to know ? Cats are cats. They do not belong to hoomans. We belong to cats 😂
@@slavvalb3933 no I just wanted to know about the cat. Because I love cats.
@@Nk-ob4id I have too many cats I am taking care of . Some were adopted .
@@slavvalb3933 ooohh🥰🥰love that for you
I want Belle and Changhak to have a another chance on the show ☝🏽I want to see my girl on the show and ✌🏽I think Changhak to have one more chance on the show to find someone special
Yeah I am actually rooting for both of them to come together
I so really agree with you
But not together
Remember that comment : this video will have the most views among all the interviews
Bella was and is the best girl, the show was lucky to have her ❤️
But no guy wanted her..queen lmao
@@slee2695 Yes and that’s a shame
But she still a queen
Just like in history, some of the greatest people weren’t even appreciated before they die
@@sasou3056 wow a bit dramatic..lol...i notice women really stan the girls on dating shows who dont get chosen...like nadine on singles inferno
@@slee2695 nah it depends on the energy the person gives off. Nadine and Bella seem like confident and sweet girls. They’re very easy to like. Se Jeong never got picked in Singles Inferno, but people like Nadine more. It depends on the individual
@@chi2om yeah my point is what girls like in girls is different from what guys like
My boyfriend is korean ...I guess because some koreans have realized what they have been missing out hating on black people for no reason ❤️
If Bella went on a international show like love Island/too hot too handle I swear she would've been the most popular one
right like she was literally the most gorgeous girl on the show..
You know this person is so loveable and awesome when you're willing to sit through and listen to them just talk. This was so fun to watch, and I really loved Bella, if she doesn't get on anymore dating shows I really hope to at least see her in movies, TV shows, or heck, maybe she can become a singer/rapper. Would love to just see more of her in the future
😂😂As for '"I was like 'Did Dan get struck by lightning? Did he fall into the lake?'" Ma'am I'm finished.
Bella, we know you were the most entertaining and fun. Let's be honest KJ knew the only time he would ever get to have an experience with a black woman is in this show. His treatment afterwards shows alot about the type of person he is...that man was dry.
I hope she does get into content creation. I’ll def support! 😊
She has her own TH-cam channel go check it out
@@immealldayeveryday9425whats it called
@@aeshia I forgot but I have seen some videos
@@aeshia its @BellaLinn
Bella is just the whole package! Beauty, brains, class, style and personality. Those boys all missed out 💯🤷♀️
Bella and the Panel Members were the main reason I continued to watch the show.
Im Congolese (drc) and i am currently living in South Africa. I agree with Bella that because of our original countries, i did not know what racism was untill i moved to South Africa and did social science as a subject at school. I still feel unaware because i have not personally experienced it but i have had multiple friends of mine share their experiences with me. I feel that instead of racism, i have experienced more xenophonia in South Africa, which is something else i did not know anything about untill i moved to South Africa
Me too. I'm haitian and when i moved to the US i was shocked that racism was a thing, still. I thought it was only in history books, a thing of the past.
I'm South African and yes, South Africans are extremely xenophobic
I’m so so sorry for the xenophobic you’ve experienced in SA😢
Bella has to be in the season 2
She's right when she says "is this the realism I never thought about it? " When you are not exposed to it, you hear about it but until you actually experience it, it's not part of your life.
Bella's answer about Dan haha karma is a bitch
This whole was a bore if Bella wasn’t there. Everyone gave ‘hypocrite shy’’ energy and made it seem like they didn’t even know how to kiss 🤦🏽♀️ yet they knew how to backstab. Bella was used by that other irrelevant guy and I hate that for her.
Without Bella I would have never watched this show or this channel. She’s the best I love to see diversity 💕
Thank you for your presence in the show, you were the highlight for me ❤️
Erica and Bella "friendship" fell out , I can say. Erica is very self-centered, she was glued to Bella only to have some validation about racism. But no one was interested in her and she didn't like it since her "friends" always hyped her and made her think she was the hottest in the room when she wasn't. 😅 Bella is everything, she is so interesting and pretty. She is the only victim of racism here because none of them chose her when they all said she was the most interesting... makes it make sense.
This👏🏾!
But I think we knew that would happen. Most Korean guys don’t go for darker skinned people. I think we need a cast of more open minded men for it to work
@@whatever7727 Yes because wanting to date "foreigners" but ended up fighting for the only Asian-looking girl who speaks Korean was already a red flag for me. 😅I knew they would prefer someone who looks Korean. Even Dan's cinema at the end and him going to Sabrina room was just another confirmation. And I want to see foreign women speaking some Korean and Korean men speaking or at least understanding English for season 2 😊
Ngl Bella was the main reason I wanted to watch 😭😭🤎
She was the only one who made me watch the show coz everyone else was either cringe or boring ..
Bella was definitely my favorite girl on the show and Chan was my favorite guy! She really seems to have such an awesome personality. I agree with the sentiment that she would make a great panelist on season 2.
I’ll definitely be on the lookout to support her individual content 😊
LOL Okay that was adorable. Bella was a bright light on this show. I have no idea why she ended up single in the end. It's so weird how people in Asia/South Korea or Africa don't experience racism until they travel outside of their country because I've had to deal with racism my entire life. lol With that being said, I don't think there was racism on this show. I think people have a tendency to gravitate toward their own race, and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, Erika did not experience racism on this show. At least two guys liked her. She was just too self-absorbed to realize it. No shade.
I concur 💖😊 but I just wish people from different cultures or races would be more open/open-minded to each other verses closed off or blocked.
It was racism
@@lboogy85 Was it though? I don't think it was. As far as we could see through the camera lens they didn't treat her negatively nor did they do or say anything racist. They're just not open-minded. They're so used to their culture's beauty standards it may or may not be hard for them to rub off--with the idea of whiter skin tone being better. Doesn't necessarily mean they're racist.
@@ILooKs33 yea it's racist.
@@lboogy85 How so?
Honestly if *Ramyun&Chill* had the same budget as *Single's Inferno* they would slay better than the latter. But even with the low budget I prefer *R&C* because of the diversity, amazing guest hosts and the whole atmosphere. I didn't even watch *Single's Inferno S2* because I'm so done with this dating shows choosing picture perfect contestants with the same slim bodies, pretty faces and dull personalities. They are focused so hard on keeping their perfect image that they don't even show a glimpse of their real self (if they have one).
I loved the panel for Season 1 but having Bella and Dan as guests in S2 will make it fire!!
I love Bella's positive energy, bring her back for season 2 as a host!!!!!!
Bella really carried the show with her positivity and fun energy. She was the only reason why I continued watching 🥹❤️ I was routing so much for her and always looked forward to every scene of her. #TeamBella
Bella's attitude and personality shine brighter than the sun ❤❤❤ I hope we can see her more often in a variety of content.
YES I need Bella on the panel (alongside all the other panelist because they were hilarious too). I don't like girl company (I went to an all girls school and I was treated poorly so now I'm a bit jaded around girls) but I just know I'd want to be friends with Bella. I want girl friends so badly T_T
i went to catholic school and i end up having more guy friends cause i was bullied by the girls. So i totally get her
Honestly i am hesitate about watching another season. Dkdk really surprised me with their opinions. they made a show for international dating when they themselves commented they like the asian girls. Megan made it seem like it was everything else but what it was. Not to mention, some clearly was on the show for their careers. KJ for sure
Ooh now this is some drama I'll pay for
🤣🤣🤣 Did Dan get struck or fall in the lake 🤣🤣 I love her 😂
To this day still wondering why any guy in RnC would choose another girl over Bella🤔Great personality, beautiful, in fact prettiest face among the bunch and smart!!! Minjae has a good eye even though Sonja cornered him up fast, he was the first person to choose Bella. As for the rest, they need to go to a good eye surgeon in Seoul to open their eyes wider!!!!
It's kind of uggly to put other people down to lift an other person 😅
I loved Bella, too, but I don't think vision was the problem. It's a problem of hundreds of years of systemic racism and internalized beliefs. I have met many open minded Asian men over the years.
@@machaon7300 And yet here you’re! Forcing your Fuggly A opinions on to others to make yourself feel better!
Yep most likely it’s racism
Yes it’s a realization look how they all thought you was beautiful but then they PICKED KOREAN beauty standard women people miss out on great people trying to PLEASE they parents
love her so much she's the icon we didn't know we needed
Let's goooooo, bella and sabrina really were my favs, they carried fr
man i really do wish changhak was more open. him and bella would’ve been the best looking couple
I don't think so.
Changhak was in love with Tiffany, the most " Korean" girl
@@vichgold384 i think changhak was genuinely interested in tiffany because she spoke korean. he probably also did find her the most attractive out of all of them. he also said he did have regret on being so closed off when they had their party. we don’t know who he could’ve gotten more closer with he was more open. idk, we’ll see when his video comes out ig
I’m glad she spoke about racism to her. Bella is Rwandan/African, she is not African American/ Black American. Her point of view and foundation is different than Black Americans. It’s valid and acknowledged and i think she is awesome.
Agree but lets not speak of Africa as a monolith... the experiences and understanding of racism for South Africans is pretty similar to AA. Let's just not use "African" lightly
Bella was the most attractive girl on the show.
Bella to good for Dan 😂
Bella made me watch the show cos I'm not into dating stuff in general
Bella is blessed with good looks, lovely smile and personality to die for plus intelligence ❤️ ✨️
Bella is so gorgeous she was the prettiest contestant hands down, Dan treated her so badly at the end.
I was shipping her with kj after they spend the night time together but that doesn’t work out but anyway I’m happy for her that she deserve better than that 😊
Firstly, um Bella, sis what do you mean you and Changhok still talk? 9:24 I'm gonna need you to elaborate on that.
Secondly, I completely understand Bella. I'm Jamaican and my country is over 90% black. I was surrounded by mostly black people and I was raised in a somewhat sheltered suburban middle-class family. I had no idea what racism was really like until I moved to America. I have always thought of racism as something distant in the past until I came face to face with it for the first time and realized how many layers there are to it, and how systemically embedded it is in certain societies. Especially micro-racism, which is what Bella and Ericka experienced, which is so prevalent and yet so subtle that it can be difficult to notice when you're in the moment.
My father's from a predominantly black country, and he always spoke to me about racism so I find it so interesting when I hear other black people say this. I'm always curious about how they explain colorism and how economic class and race intersect, because white people are disproportionately in higher socioeconomic classes in many black countries. Bella even mentions South Africa, a black country that had segregation and a very racist social structure with the white minority treating the black majority like second-class citizens. And Rwanda has a whole history of ethnic genocide so at the very least, she may not have felt like she experienced racism, but at the very least she should've known what discrimination is. I wish she could've shared more about her perspective because it's fascinating how differently we all see the world.
@@vanessapaul5908 Colorism is present but classism eclipses it. Jamaica is very classist. The gap between the rich and the poor is massive with a large percentage of the population being poor. Jamaica is also over 90% black, as a result, most of the poor people are black however there are poor non-black natives as well. And while most of the non-black people belong to the middle/upper class, the majority of the middle/upper class are black. For example, most of our politicians and people in power are black. However, business-wise, the Asian Jamaicans are huge players though.
In Jamaica, discrimination is mostly based on your address, how well you speak English, and your etiquette. I am dark-skinned, and I mostly remember being scowled at by my family and teachers about speaking "properly", dressing decently, having proper manners, and things like that. My schooling was very elitist, I remember my kindergarten and primary school hosting balls and dinners where you got dressed up and were expected to carry yourself a certain way, eat with a knife and fork, etc. My all-girls high school had a whole subject called "Personal Development" where you learn how to carry yourself like a young lady and you receive tests and a grade at the end of the semester just like any other class.
Middle/upper-class Jamaicans tend to look down upon the ghetto and 'ghetto' speech. Contrary to popular belief, be aware that not all poor Jamaicans live in the ghetto and not everyone who lives in the ghetto lives in poverty. Furthermore, ghettos only exist in the cities and there are poor Jamaicans who live in the countryside, however, most people who live in the countryside are middle/lower-class with some in the upper class. Class in Jamaica is ranked as Upper class then middle-class then lower-class then the ghetto, but keep in mind that there are a few people from the ghetto who are actually middle class.
Anyways, I could not speak patios at school or around my family. In fact, most middle/upper-class Jamaicans looked down on patios in general. It was not until recent years with social media and the world loving patios that many middle/upper-class Jamaicans started to embrace patios fully but they still don't speak it as deeply as the poorer Jamaicans do. In fact, there are some Jamaicans who speak patios so deeply that I cannot understand them at all. It's like a whole different language especially when they are from the countryside. For example, normally you can tell what social class a Jamaican is from based on how thick their accent is. Due to how I was raised, I can literally turn my accent on and off as I please, and people will not know that I am Jamaican unless I tell them.
Don't get me wrong, racism does exist in Jamaica but it is on a much smaller scale than in America, and mostly it is towards poor and/or "ugly" people. Jamaicans are colorists in many ways. For example, we did have an issue with skin bleaching not too long ago but that was short-lived and died out really quick as it was mostly seen as a trend as weird as it sounds. But, make no mistake, the colorism is there. However, it is sidelined due to the fact that Jamaicans revere beauty over complexion. A Jamaican will always choose a beautiful dark-skin person over an ugly/average light-skin one. However, if you are dark-skinned, ugly, and poor your life will be very difficult because the hierarchy in Jamaica goes wealth then beauty then skin complexion then race.
That being said, I never really noticed this stuff when I was growing up because my family was pretty comfortable and, in all honestly, I also had the pretty privilege. I was raised in a bubble and most of my friends were just like me. I was exposed somewhat in high school where I was able to met people of different classes but most of the kids at my school were either middle/upper class. Also, my school was kind of known as being "posh", as they would say in Jamaica. Like, we literally wore strict uniforms and had rules that even dictated to us what kind of socks were acceptable and how thick to fold them. (Plain white, cotton socks folded 1 inch thick above the ankle. Just in case you were wondering).
So, anyways, it was not until I moved to New York that guys, particularly the black guys, used to make fun of my dark skin. I had visited many times on holiday but I never experienced that before then and I never had Jamaica guys I liked refuse to date me because of my skin tone. I was used to being 'that girl' back home so when I got to New York and black guys weren't feeling me I didn't understand it at first, so I simply dated non-black guys but even then, I would face micro-racism, which I also didn't understand either. I would also experience micro-racism from my non-black people including my 'friends'. I didn't understand was systemic racism was nor did I understand negative black stereotypes and how they affect black people, especially black women. It took years for me to understand that stuff and to learn how to deal with situations like that. I also did not understand African American culture and I had to learn it because I was often referred to as an oreo.
This was really long, but I just wanted to give you a proper understanding since you said that you find it interesting. P.S. I'm no longer naive, I have since outgrown my sheltered upbringing and I now have a better understanding of the world, especially in pertaining to racism. All in all, there is a certain naivety that comes with being raised in an all/majority-black country. I suppose the dynamics vary from country to country but still there are many similarities in how we see the world, and I can understand how black people from white-dominated countries like America find it difficult to comprehend our point of view.
@@vikctoryan15 this entire comment was really beautiful in a informing way, As an African American girl I can really understand your viewpoint of the colorism you received from Black guys in America!!
I've pledged $30. Hope we can get to the goal by the deadline. It's definitely possible with the amount of people who watched
I don’t like all the dragging of the cast in here. Minjae was a gem as was Chan. I also really loved Sabrina and Sonja. Bella was definitely one of the best cast but the other casts are fun too.
Bella, you rocked that show! So glad you did it. All the men and women were fun to watch. You have a groovy future ahead of you! 🤘
Bella would make a great addition to the commentators for R&C 2!! She would have great insight having been a contestant, plus she is just adorable to watch and listen to.
I just almost finished to watch KJ interview. Girl, DO NOT participate in season 2. DKDKTV will do you dirty. You will be disrespected and gaslighted AGAIN!
I'm so excited to see Bella as a panel member in season 2!! :) :)
Sorry but Bella is above that show. She probably would thrive more on a show like Love Island
Dan my man you screwed up big time by letting Bella go
Happy to see her again 🇷🇼 Bella 🇷🇼 can't wait for season 2
I wish she would've given Minjae a chance
Me too. He went straight to her
Idk if you heard what she said but Bella tried to talk to him but Sonja let everybody know in the house that she was into minjae so Bella kinda back out cause she is girls girl haha so yeah she would have talked to him but Sonja come forward with that info………..
Me too 😅
@@hodanverse lol if thats true then yeah thats nice of her but who goes on a dating show to be a "girls girl"...
@@sadesuarez2954 well some people do! They don’t like drama but Bella just had fun and didn’t like him enough to pursue i guess but I know what you mean.
Aaawww Bella is just so much fun! 😆 Quick witted, easy going, down to earth, fuuuun, super kind, has such a warm personality and beautiful 😻 she’s lovely and loveable 💕
To be a black person who never experienced racism before was such a "WOW" moment for me. I'm so happy that she's never had to deal with that. I- oddly- have never thought about the lack of racism in the homogenous places of Africa. In my mind, Black people everywhere are just catching all sorts of prejudice.
I thought, "Wow, what a unicorn," lol. But I'm so grateful to hear that that's a normal for people where she's grown up. A blessing! 🥰♥️
Such a beautiful & humble lady! 💕
It's all about where you grow up, but I am right there with you. That would be an amazing thing to me for sure.
@@monstafloppa871 So, so right! It really opened my eyes! I would've loved to have experienced it, too.
Yes, I'm from Jamaica and I have never experienced racism in my life, so that's why I could never relate to it
@@roxanneellis9462 That's so amazing 🥹 bless you, girl. I'm seriously so happy for you. It's something none of us should have to relate to, smh. But I'm grateful for those who haven't 💕
In South Africa we experience racism since here are white people.
Thank you DKDKTV David, Danny and Anna for doing this Q&A session with Bella. I really enjoyed hearing her perspective and I love her personality she is so optimistic and a realist. I am so looking forward to Ramyun & Chill Season 2 🫶🏾🦋.
BELLA !!! my it girl
In all honesty i dont want sus to ho back on the show. I feel they would just use her for ratings. I want her to be happy and find her true love organically. Not to come off as a Netflix and chill type of girl, but be taking seriously and have a stable loving relationship with whomever she chooses to be in her life.
Love Bella, but as a South African I have to point out that her comments about racism have to be acknowledged as her own personal experience, she's lucky enough to not have been confronted with racism while living here, but due to our convoluted history with colonialism and then apartheid, we still have a lot of issues related to racism (the most recent e.g being blasted on the shaderoom about a couple of white men telling black teenagers that they couldn't swim in the resort pool cause it was reserved for whites only) we still have a long way to go, but love to Bella babe ❤️
Honestly, I watched this show because of Bella. She's such a pretty, intelligent and cool girl.
She blessed the show.
"this or that"... Anna has to be arrested 🤣
Bella is the most adorable of all❤️❤
Bella is beautiful, thank you to her for putting herself into a new and vulnerable position in the sake of love and Ramyun 💕 would love to see Bella back in some way for season 2
Am so happy to see my bby girl bella again
Fellow Tswana Girl 😍 Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. You'd be captivating as a content creator
I love her ❤Some people are made to be infront of the camera. Congrats with graduating !!!!~
10:47 I need the tea in why she picked Sabrina over Erika ☕️👀

Me too 😂 I was shook
About cereal and milk "thats not a question" she's so funny I adore Bella, I hope we see more of her in the future 🥰

"Skill or Power"
Me, A Chan Veteran: SKILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
